Abstract
Options for GVHD prophylaxis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation can best be chosen by understanding the pathophysiology of GVHD. Interventions to limit T cell activation, expansion and subsequent tissue injury can each be utilized in designing successful GVHD prevention strategies Depleting, tolerizing or blunting T cells or host antigen presenting cells (APCs), blocking co-stimulation or more broadly suppressing inflammation have all been used. Interventions which spare regulatory T cells (Tregs) may prevent GVHD and facilitate controlled allo-responses and not compromise subsequent relapse risks. Graft manipulations and pharmacologic interventions each have potential to limit the morbidity of GVHD while permitting the immunocompetence to prevent infection or relapse.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
